"My dad was abusive and killed himself and I'm happier now."

If the child is better off with their dad killing themselves, that's a failure of society to protect the child who was being abused, or possibly the child has inherited some sociopathic tendencies.

For most people, the suicide of a parent is traumatic, regardless of whether there was abuse.

I think your assumption/implication that "was traumatic" is inconsistent with "happier now" is questionable.

It's aggravating when people tell me what I meant, when I chose my words with intent.

I've never been a SWE or developer. Communicating with lawyers and PMs is what I mostly do.
